Ready to Grow · Annual ROC / MCA Compliance

Keep the company clean with the ROC — every annual filing, on time

A private limited company carries a fixed calendar of MCA filings each year, financials, annual return, director KYC and board formalities. Miss them and the penalties run per day, directors get disqualified, and the company drifts toward “strike-off”. We run the whole calendar so the company stays compliant and your DIN stays active.

Quick summary. Every private limited company must hold an AGM within six months of the financial year-end, then file its financials in AOC-4 (within 30 days of the AGM) and its annual return in MGT-7/7A (within 60 days). Directors file DIR-3 KYC by 30 September, the company files DPT-3 by 30 June and appoints its auditor in ADT-1. LLPs file Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October. We track and file all of it, with the board minutes and registers to back it up.

Is this for you?

🏢
A private limited company

Active or dormant, you owe AOC-4, MGT-7 and the rest every year regardless of turnover.

🧮
An LLP

⚠️
Filings are overdue

Past years were missed and the per-day additional fee is mounting, it needs clearing before strike-off.

What we actually do

StepWhat happens
Compliance calendarMap every due date for your entity for the year and flag anything overdue.
Board & AGMDraft notices, minutes and resolutions for board meetings and the annual general meeting.
Financials & auditCoordinate the audited financial statements and the auditor’s appointment (ADT-1).
ROC filingsFile AOC-4, MGT-7/7A, DPT-3 and any event-based forms within their deadlines.
Director KYCFile DIR-3 KYC for every director so DINs stay active.
Registers & recordMaintain statutory registers and a clean compliance file for diligence or scrutiny.
Overdue ROC filings carry an additional fee of ₹100 per day per form, with no cap, so a single late annual return can cost more than years of compliance. If filings have been missed, the first job is to quantify and clear the backlog before penalties or strike-off escalate. Just incorporated? See private limited company incorporation; we also keep your bookkeeping & financial reporting in step with the filings.

Why CA-led

Frequently asked questions

What annual filings does a private limited company have to make?

At a minimum: financial statements in AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM, the annual return in MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for a small company) within 60 days, the auditor’s appointment in ADT-1, DIR-3 KYC for every director by 30 September, and DPT-3 by 30 June. The AGM itself must be held within six months of the financial year-end (within nine months for the first AGM).

What are the filings for an LLP?

An LLP files Form 11 (annual return) by 30 May and Form 8 (statement of accounts and solvency) by 30 October each year. These are due even if the LLP had no business activity during the year.

What happens if I miss an ROC filing?

An additional fee of ₹100 per day per form applies, with no upper limit, so the cost grows the longer it is delayed. Prolonged non-filing can lead to the company being struck off and directors being disqualified for up to five years. Clearing the backlog promptly is far cheaper than letting it run.

My DIN is deactivated. What do I do?

A DIN is deactivated when a director misses DIR-3 KYC. It is reactivated by filing the KYC with a ₹5,000 late fee. Until it is active, that director cannot sign any MCA form, so it usually needs fixing first.

Do I still have to file if the company had no activity?

Yes. A dormant or zero-revenue company still files its annual return, financial statements and director KYC. The obligations flow from being incorporated, not from having turnover. If you want to stop them entirely, the company must be formally closed or struck off.

How many board meetings does a company need to hold?

A private limited company must hold at least four board meetings in a year, with a gap of not more than 120 days between two consecutive meetings. Small companies and one-person companies have relaxed requirements. We prepare the notices and minutes to keep the record in order.

Can you regularise several years of missed filings at once?

Yes. We assess every pending form across the missed years, compute the additional fees so you know the total exposure upfront, and file them in the right sequence to bring the company current.

Do you also handle the statutory audit?

Yes. We coordinate the audited financial statements that feed AOC-4, and handle the auditor’s appointment, so the accounts and the ROC filing are consistent and done by one team.
